Henry Winkler has proven to be a pretty good bad guy actor. I fear he is in danger of being typecast. It would be interesting to see him to a comedy again to see if he still has the timing he brought to ‘Happy Days’ as the Fonz.

What, you don’t like Barry?
Also, he’s great on King of the Hill playing himself, as a bad guy. I think Winkler has had a really interesting and varied career, and it probably speaks to his skill as an actor that his taking up such different roles is so affective.

As an actor ages, it’s impossible for he or she to remain the young actor we remember or to play the same roles as in the past. To stay relevant, they need to take different kinds of roles and stretch their craft. Redford is a good example of one who has done that and succeeded, while Winkler and Shatner, in my opinion, have both just gotten hammier as they’ve gotten older.
